Somerset Neighborhood School

Q: Is Somerset Neighborhood School a good school?

Somerset Neighborhood School ranks 671 st of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Somerset Neighborhood School is a public charter elementary school in Miramar, Florida, serving 505 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently outperforms the Broward County and Florida state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in science and mathematics.

Despite serving a predominantly low-income and African American student population, Somerset Neighborhood School has shown strong academic performance, with 74% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in FAST/Math, compared to 61% in Broward County and 56% statewide. However, the school has experienced a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.9% in 2018-2019 to 23.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than nearby schools. While Somerset Neighborhood School outperforms the county and state, it is not the highest-performing school in the immediate vicinity, as Pembroke Pines Charter Elementary School, located just 1.36 miles away, consistently ranks among the top 5% of Florida elementary schools.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Somerset Neighborhood School, ranging from 62.38% to 68.51% over the past three school years, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income community. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's higher chronic absenteeism rate, which can impact academic achievement. Overall, Somerset Neighborhood School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in science and mathematics, despite the challenges it faces in serving a diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
